Beacon | Slingshot Aerospace
Two-sided Coordination for Collision Avoidance
Beacon provides mission-relevant space traffic coordination capabilities. By ingesting CDMs — including those from Space-Track.org — and layering in user ephemerides and maneuverability context, Beacon allows operators to set risk thresholds and take coordinated action. With real-time messaging, APIs for automation, and intuitive UI tools, Beacon helps cut through the chaff, clearly identify the riskiest conjunctions, and streamline coordination effort — making orbital safety easier to manage.
Key Features
Streamlined Conjunction Assessment
Ingest, filter, and visualize CDMs — including those from Space-Track.org — with customizable risk alerts, fleet-scale dashboards, and direct API integration.
Secondary Coordination & Chat
View ephemerides, maneuverability, and responsiveness indicators for secondaries, and coordinate quickly through integrated near–real-time chat.
Automated Maneuver Sharing
Share maneuver plans via API and notify secondaries through rapid, coordinated messaging for faster, safer, and more transparent operations.
Example Use Cases
Fleet Operators
Monitor active CDMs, communicate with secondaries, and support streamlined conjunction response planning—all from one interface.
Mission Operations Teams
Use customizable thresholds and chat-based coordination to manage high volumes of CDMs during critical periods, like orbit raising.
Regulatory & Coordination Bodies
Observe participant maneuver behavior and support fair-space coordination workflows. Generate logs that assist with regulatory and transparency requirements.
